Sattellite Pro 6100 USB XP SP2 drops USB device after standby

I have a Satellite Pro 6100 running XpPro.
I have a problem since I installed the XP Service Pack 2 in that the USB drops when the computer comes out of standby.
The computer is fine until then, but I can replicate this only with the SP2 installed. Luckily I did a Norton Ghost and I have restored it to pre-SP2 status for the time being.
It does not matter what is connected to the USB port, nor which port anything is plugged in. Coming out of standby causes a balloon message on the taskbar on an icon which represents the USB port - and the message says "USB Device not recognised"
I cannot find any help on the microsoft site, nor on the newsgroup. I am at a loss as where else I can look.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hello
I dont know which USB device you use but it is known to me that some external devices like DVD-ROMs doesnt support standby or hibernate mode. Try to remove the unit from USB port and connect it again. I am pretty sure that it should works again.
Bye

  • Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

    We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
    Thanks,

    I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
    Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
    After making those changes it worked like a charm.

  • Satellite Pro 6100, WXP installing SP2, after stand-by mode the USB is unknown

    Hi,
    after installing the update SP2 for Win XP on my notebook Toshiba Sat. Pro 6100, the following happens:
    when the notebook awakes from the stand-by mode, the USB connector is unknown and the communication is lost.
    Who knows the answer for this problem?

    Hello Erjee,
    you just need to install the bios version 1.90 or later.
    For other machines with the same problem after installing SP2...
    TE2100 v1.60 or later
    SATELLITE PRO 6000 v1.60 or later
    PORTEGE 4000 v2.10 or later
    TECRA 9000 v1.40 or later

  • SatProA60 XP SP2 drops 1394 iEEE firewire device after standby

    I have an external dvd writer 1394 IEEE /USB2.0 (LG GSA 5163D) with my Satelite Pro A60 and have discovered a very annoying problem when the laptop comes out of standby The dvd writer is dropped by the system. IF I have it plugged to the USB everything OK.
    I have the latest BIOS installed 1.9B
    Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?
    Is it a Microsoft problem?
    Thanks
    John Newman

    Hi
    Like Ivan said firewire port is usually recognized by operating system and I can really dont understood why this happen after using standby mode. The only thing that I know is that some external devices dont support standby mode (friend of mine has the same problem with his Freecom burner). After restart the drive can be used again.

  • Macbook Pro (15in) - 10.6.4 - Drops VPN Connection after 60 seconds

    Just received the above machine, setting it up. I'm attached to our wireless network here at work, and that works perfectly.
    I configured VPN and it connects... seemingly... ok. But after 60 seconds it tells me the VPN has disconnected. One thing, though... I have the checkbox selected to send all traffic over VPN, and during the 60 seconds of supposed connectivity... I can't get to any site thru the browser.
    Then when VPN disconnects obviously the site comes right up in Safari.
    Anyone wrestle with this?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: "unable to connect to my device" after loading full featured

    I read the forums and installed the full featured drivers.  During installation it asks me to connect to my device using USB cable.  I did this, but it doesn't see my device.  I tried a different cable, same issue.  Both the computer and the printer are on ... I printed a test page wirelessly to make sure the printer was responding.  (The wireless printing was working prior to installing the new drivers.)
    I am running windows 8 on HP Envy.
    I am trying to get it to scan wirelessly and loading the drivers was the answer on the forum.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I noticed your post about your Officejet 8600 not functioning on your Windows 8 system. I would suggest trying to install the printer by using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows for starters.
    If that method does not work, please follow the next guide very carefully.

  • Audigy2 NX USB not recognized after Standby-M

    Hi,
    if somebody uses a Laptop there is only the possibility to use an USB, Firewire or PCMCIA Soundcard.
    I am using the Audigy2 NX USB with my portable PC (Windows XP SP2 installed).
    When I close the lid of my Laptop and it goes into <EM>Standby-Mode</EM> and then reactivating Windows again an Error Message appears when Music is going to be played.
    The Device seems to have a driver problem.
    I need to reboot Windows XP everytime again when I want to play Sound. :angry:
    (I've installed the newest Soundblasterdrivers and Firmware with Autoupdate!)
    Questions:
    : Is this a known problem?
    2: Is there a solution?
    3: Which external Creative-Soundcards do support Notebookfeatures like Standbymode?
    4: Why aren't 64bit drivers released for Win XP64bit's

    . Not a known problem at least I dun read it here.
    2. The problem maybe with Windows itself cos I known that the OS have many problem with standby. If you go to microsoft website and do a search in their kbase, you will find many problem occur with USB device after standby.
    3. As say, it may be a problem of OS and not the card.
    4. There are 64bit driver being developed but just not release yet. This is what I found on their kbase.
    http://us.creative.com/support/XPx64/
    Here's one solution I found at microsoft kbase.
    Do not configure your computer to turn off USB devices to save power while the computer is on standby. To do this, follow these steps:
    . Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
    2. In System Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
    3. In Device Manager, double-click Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers.
    4. Right-click USB Root Hub, and then click Properties.
    5. In USB Root Hub Properties, click the Power Management tab, and then click to clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each instance of USB Root Hub that is listed in Device Manager.

  • How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
    What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

  • Why do USB drives plugged into USB hubs make my Mac Book Pro (Retina late 2013) wake from sleep?

    I have 2 x USB hubs, a Logitech USB 2.0 hub and a Broway USB 3.0 hub. Tested both and both seem to be the cause of my late 2013 Mac Book Pro waking from sleep. I ran syslog to find out why (syslog |grep -i "Wake reason") and the reason I got back was "kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: XHC1" - this means nothing to me, but it didn't take too much mucking about to hunt the problem down and figure out it was the USB hub with any USB drive attached. If the drive is attached directly to the computer. No problem, computer sleeps fine.
    This was a problem I encountered (and never solved) with OSX 10.6.8, a 2008 Macbook Pro the same Logitech USB 2.0 hub, but with different drives. I put the problem down to a bug that never got solved in an old system. But I am simply AMAZED after my update to a new MBP and new system that it is still about almost 6 years, a dozen MBP's and 4 systems later.
    The other problem is that not only does the USB drive/ USB hub combo wake the computer it also loses the drive upon sleep and mounts it again upon wake. Then repeats this process every couple of minutes. And it obviously doesn't eject the drives properly because each time I return to the computer after I put it to sleep or let it go to sleep I get a giant list of "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notifications about it. Which I'm guessing could eventually cause some file damage.
    I've tried combinations of different drives, different hubs (a Belkin and a no-name Chinese brand 2.0 hub) and the problem persists. Is there a solve to this problem? I'm surprised to see so little posts on forums about this. Am I just unlucky and got another combination of faulty/problematic hardware, or is this a real problem that exists for everyone? If not I would love to know if people have found winning combos of USB hubs and drives. But if it is, then it HAS to be solved.
    If you have a Macbook Pro, then you are limited to 2 USB outlets, this is obviously a bare minimum and I would say that 95% of people using their laptop computer in the office or at home have a hub, and very likely a USB drive attached to it. I know actual Apple reps don't really pay much attention to the community support posts, but I've got 6 months worth of Applecare left and would like suggestions about how to get Apple's attention about this problem.
    BTW Jettison (a 3rd party app that ejects drives properly before sleep) is not a solve. It is a 3rd party app that tries to fill a hole in a broken system. I don't want to eject my drive upon sleep, I want it to got the **** to sleep.

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • Flash Pro debugging on Nexus 7 via USB didn't work - at first.

    I had a wonderful day so far. Although I have debugged on my Nexus 7 in the past, today it just didn't want to work.
    Perhaps there are some bugs to be found here, but I'll leave that up to Adobe to decide.
    I'd already been testing an app on my Droid 2 phone and then I switched to my Nexus 7.
    Notification says its connected for USB debugging. Clicking on the notification brings up the developer option menu, but I notice its not in my settings screen where it used to be. (Must have disappeared after the last system update.)
    I goto settings -> About tablet -> click the build number 7 times ( I hear its 10 for the Nexus 10)
    Device now says I'm a developer and I can access the Developer options from the settings menu.
    USB debugging is already checked.
    Using the Nexus 7 notification I switched USB connection from a media device to a camera device.
    I try to debug my app in Flash Pro, AIR for Android 3.5.0.880 but it just hangs when trying to load the app via USB.
    I check the Win7 USB drivers - they are up to date. I uninstall and reinstall them anyway.
    I made sure I had the latest version of Android SDK installed - no new USB drivers show up though.
    Since I'm debugging, it has toggled off captive runtime.
    I go to Android platform tools and run adb logcat from a cmd prompt and it can't seem to kill the outdated server and create a new one.
    I visit StackOverflow. From advice I found there I open up my Win7 Task Manager and found 8 copies of ADB.exe running.
    I kill them all. But every time I have to cancel out of a hung-up attempt by Flash Pro to publish to a USB device, more of those ADB.exe tasks get left behind and they have to manually be killed.
    Now I can run adb logcat and see my device logs.
    Finally it dawns on me that my Nexus 7 is running the latest version of AIR 3.7.0.186
    On a hunch, I switch Flash Pro up to using AIR for Android 3.7.0.1530 and try again to debug. It forces to captive runtime and then runs the app on the device.
    Turns out my Droid 2 device, which was running the debug app just fine, was running AIR 3.7.0.166. So I updated it to the latest version of AIR just to see if it exhibited the same problems - fortunately it didn't.
    What irony. I'm developing on AIR 3.5 because AIR 3.7 forces captive runtime on my app and I don't always want that. But now it appears that AIR 3.7 has the added "benefit" of preventing debugging of older, non-captive runtime AIR apps on some devices. Actually, after further testing I can't even publish an AIR 3.5 captive-runtime app (debug off) straight to the device. No error though - just a silent hangup. I suppose that's one way Adobe can force developers to upgrade to the latest version of AIR and just accept having captive runtime forced on them. I have to wonder though if all my previously published apps are now going to stop working if users upgrade their devices to AIR 3.7.0.186. I really hope not.
    Update: I can still side-load an AIR 3.5 captive-runtime app onto my Nexus 7 and run them.
      And older AIR 3.4 versions of the apps I work with still function on my Droid 2 running the latest AIR 3.7 runtimes. That makes be feel better.
    I hope this info helps other developers.

    Thank you! This is the only thing that fixed my problem after hours and hours of searching.
    I had the same problem with the publishing never completing. It turns out that I was publishing to AIR 3.4 while my device has 3.8. Updating the SDK solved all of my problems. Thanks again!

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Capture Question (Firewire to USB Converter)

    Does Premiere Pro CS3 support capture through a Firewire to USB Converter?  More specifically, we have one particular PC laptop that does not have a firewire port, only USB 2.0.  So we were thinking of getting a firewire to USB converter.  Will that work for capturing footage from our Mini DV camera?
    Camera is Canon XH-A1S HD and a firewire cable will be running from this camera to the firewire to USB converter, then a USB cable will be running out of the converter into the dual core laptop with Windows 7, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 460M video card.
    Thank you!

    Might work then again it might not. Have not heared of any positive results. In other words imo its a waste of money.
    You need a real firewire connection.
